    DISCOVER HOW WE PUT OUR PRODUCTS TO TEST

    GORE-TEX products have earned their reputation because they deliver what they promise. Whichever benefits are offered by our product technologies, you can rely on the fact that our rigorous testing standards have been met.

    A variety of tests are performed to ensure a product's functionality and quality over time. Not only is the laminate tested, but also the complete construction. Membrane, laminate, seaming tape, design and production ensure that the quality of long-lasting functional apparel survives the harshest working conditions.
